Product Description

Synopsis
A child may regard toys and furniture as largely interchangeable objects in the serious work of play, but in this study of their design history, everyday objects are revealed as vehicles for society's attitudes towards learning. Essays to accompany the photographs have been contributed by childhood specialists, social historians, ethnologists, educationalists and industrial designers including Lucy Bullivant, Mike Scaife, Linda Pollock and Eileen Adams. The volume was published to coincide with an exhibition organized by the Vitra Design Museum in Switzerland.
